Strange Happenings [Robbie]

[Alyss Everheart]

Alyss Everheart sat on the couch in the Student Lounge, Grammar and American English Lit. book laid open on her lap and a few sheets of lined paper in front of her on the table. She was currently working her way through the homework, getting a head start before a certain friend came to meet her. Robbie Wilkes had called her asking her to meet at the Student Lounge, with an English textbook. An English textbook. Something was wrong with this picture.


The last phone call Alyss had received from her trouble loving friend, he had asked her to come out to shoot off fireworks near the girls dorm rooms, on a Monday night. It wasn't 4th of July, or New Years Eve, nope, he had just wanted to shoot off firecrackers to wake up the prisses in the dorms. Al had to admit it was all pretty hilarious, but she could only do so much trouble making before her conscious finally caught up with her. Nevertheless, Robbie seemed fine carrying on without her, going on about his antics here at Hammel. What was with the sudden change of heart with wanting to meet up with Al for a study session??


Alyss sighed and put the textbook on the table next to her papers. She had written a paragraph analysis on a short story that they were doing, and still had a good three paragraphs to go. She knew what she wanted to say, it was just all about getting it out there on the paper. Which was kind of the same thing with Robbie right now. She wanted to ask him about this girl she heard he was starting to actually become a 'thing' with, but knew better than to pry with this kid. If he wanted to say it, he would. If he didn't, well, she might as well be talking to the wall. Putting her pencil down next to the book, she leaned back in the coach and sank into the cushions. Lounging, she waited for her friend to show up so she could start this little session of theirs.


(I hope this works for you Nu! Let me know if you don't like the idea or something. IDK XP Sorry it took me a bit to get this thing going too)

[Robbie Wilkes]

Ever since he got news of his family up and leaving him, Robbie suddenly became quite interested in trying to get out of Hammel to get a headstart on getting his own life. He wanted to get his life straightened out and he still needed to be able to see his siblings. They were the only reasons why he would even go back home in the first place.

So first step to getting his life in order was to get his education straightened out. He knew he had a lot of catching up to do so he went to one of the few people he knew who would help him study without judgment.

Alyss and Robbie went way back, but not as way back as Estelle. Close enough anyway. And she was one of the first few people in Hammel he started to wreak havoc with. She was also a really smart cookie. She was the perfect study buddy for Robbie.

With Alyss waiting in the student lounge, Robbie quickly went over there to start their study session.

"Sup Als." Robbie raised a hand that wasn't laden with books before dumping all of them, and himself, on the couch where Alyss was sitting. "I know this is weird, me calling you for study sessions but it is what it is now quit staring and let's start this shiznit."

[Alyss Everheart]

Alyss's head lolled back up from the coach, one eye cracking open as she heard someone call her name. It was Robbie of course, book in hand and heading straight for her. It was a rare sight indeed, catching a glimpse of the elusive playboy Robbie Wilkes with a book. She wasn't really sure whether to be proud, or freaked out. "Robbie!" she exclaimed as she started to sit up straighter and lean forward towards the coffee table where her book and binder lay. It was always nice seeing her old friend, Robbie was one of the first people she had met when she'd arrived at Hammel. They had some history, not that kind of history, just the kind of getting into too much trouble together, childhood friends kind of thing.


"Okay, okay!" teased Alyss, holding her hands up and then pointing to a recliner set across from the coffee table. "Take a seat we'll get started." Alyss blinked and realized how...teacher/tudor like she just sounded. Oh great, I'm turning into James, thought Alyss as she shook the thought from he mind and started to pick up her paper that had the analysis on it. She looked at it real quick before setting it on top of the book.


"All right, so the assignment was to write a four paragraph analysis over the poem within the book. Have you read the passage yet?" Al asked, quirking an eyebrow up at Robbie. She secretly denied that he had even remembered the assignment, but then again, who knew. He had called her for a study session! Which was strange enough! So, maybe he'd surprise her this time. "Hey, Alyss started off, putting a hand on her chin and leaning forward, speaking softly, "you seem kinda frazzled...or rushed. You all right?"

[Robbie Wilkes]

Robbie grinned at the fellow blonde's enthusiasm and plopped down on to the pointed out recliner, dumping his books on his lap. Her question about the assignment got him smirking. "Why do you think I asked you to come over?" He raised and eyebrow before the smirk disappeared little by little at her concern over him.

"Let's not discuss that and let's go to the assignment." He nodded after a beat, waving a dismissive hand and pulling out his reading glasses. "So I have read the passage about twenty times. It's in English, I know that but the problem is, what I don't understand is how in the hell is a desk the same thing as a pebble? It doesn't make a stinking sense!" He pushed his glasses on his nose and looked up at Alyss.

"Tell me you understand the simile and it's just me going off my rocker." He asked pleadingly. "I need to graduate. Fast. And this assignment is my last hope at it."

[OOC: Feel free to be all: "-.- Robbie, you're reading the wrong passage" ^^]
